Depression

Horasio

It is so quiet on here this week

We have got more settled about our son

He is living with mates for a small sum, not from us.

He is about to get a reality check - good luck to him.

Where is everyone?

Hi cat!:hello:
How are you angel? Sorry it's taken me so long to say hi to you hun. You gotta watch this lot cat - turn your back for one minute and there's cat-astrophes (groan - I know!:D ) all over the place.;)

Thanks for the welcome. Still not feeling well - which to be honest is making me very ratty and down. Got doctors again tomorrow and im not leaving until i get some answers !
I hope the doctors were of some help hun. Sometimes, you just gotta dig your paws in and demand some answers.;)

I felt a bit scared to come on here as you seem to know each other so well and its hard trying not to say the wrong thing. So I hope i can follow everything ok and dont upset anyone.
Awww hun - don't be a scaredy-cat, cat.:rolleyes: You are more than welcome here hun. The secret is that we don't know each other at all - it's just that no-one else will speak to us!:D :rotfl: Honestly cat, the guys here give fantastic advice and you are not judged in any way. I'm sure you won't upset anyone cat.

I always find anyone with depression is very nice - i tend to think its because we are so nice we feel more than other people and empathise more - which makes us prone to depression as we care so much. I have never met anyone with depression who doesnt have a heart of gold.
You know there is something in that hun. I think that's why we get hurt so easily - it's almost as if 'the pack' can sense our vulnerability. Still angel, I'd rather care too much, than not at all.;) I think depression/mental ill health can make you feel more philosophical - I certainly find myself thinking more deeply. Makes sense I suppose because with our ill health, we get a mini-course in psychology. I hope you're feeling better now hun and that you'll stick around.
Much Love,

argh mum has been giving me hassle about my accomodation whilst at uni. I am going to move in with my OH but i havent told my parents yet as I dont know how they'll react. When do you think i should tell them

Psst - lrs!
Over here!:hello: You don't know how they'll react? When should you tell them? Got some inside info for you. Just between you and me ok?

a) your mom already knows - we get a built-in radar device when we give birth and that's how come we always know what you're doing, before you do it!;)

b) NOW!!!!! Tell them NOW!!!!! Preferably long-distance and over a telephone wire!:rolleyes: :rotfl:

Hi hun - hope you're ok.
Seriously angel, go and get it over and done with before it builds up into a really huge issue for you and you end up staying at home till you're 35!
You've obviously made your choice hun - it's what you want to do and part of being an adult is making your own decisions and then having the maturity and common sense to stand by it and do it the best way you can. If mom and dad can see that you've thought it through properly and it's what you both really want, they will be okay with it. Not happened to me yet but it must be a hard wrench when the fledgling turns into a dirty great goose to build their own nest.:o
Not telling them is only going to make you fret angel.

Good luck lrs - and if they go nuclear, I shall deny all knowledge!:D :rolleyes: Take care hun.
Much Love,

Well, just got back from the hospital and I am now castless. It feels really wierd. The scars don't look too bad, but there is a lot of dry / dead skin all over my foot and leg. Have washed it once, but doctor told me not to scrub it too much as I will make the skin sore. Will give it another wash before bed tonight. Have been given exercise to do every hour to get the ankle moving. It is very stiff and quite achey, but it does feel so nice knowing that I am on the road to recovery. Have been signed off for another 2 weeks, but doctor said that after that I should be fine to go back to work, yippee!

Am feeling a bit better than I have over the last few days (yes I did take my tablet this morning as well!).

Hope you are all doing well. F

You were "mugged" pet - by people who you trusted and were trying to help.

How about a super duper tiffy letter - on your own behalf for once.

Surely the OR would have something to say about what they did?

They will get what they deserve one day - but why wait! lol.

Get that pen sharpened - dip it in vitriol and get writing !!!!

Big hug.

CPN tomorrow. I've just had to fill my Uni accomodation application form out. on the form it asked if i suffered from 'mental health problems' i put that i did but i really hope that doesnt effect me in the long run

Hi hun!
I hope things went well with CPN lrs.
Imho hun, I think that where it says on any form if you have mental health problems, that you should always be honest.
For a start, for life in general, your own abilities will speak louder than your disabilities. If they discriminate against you, it'll be easier to prove.
And it can work for you sometimes hun. They'll be aware of any problems and hopefully willing to help a bit more. You'd be amazed at how many students have depression. It's so common in the general public anyway.
Never be ashamed of who you are lrs. If you're smart and brave enough to go to uni angel, hopefully they will recognize this and your talents will speak for themselves.;)
Good luck hun.
Much Love,

Hi l-t-d!
How are you angel? Still got the application form addiction I see?:p Well hun, at least you're trying.:T

Strange day, went out last night, im not drinking anymore with the AD's, I honestly mean it, vivid dreams again, was one particular one about the ex that scared me a lot! The interview at ASDA House went well i felt, they were very impressed with my stuff I had done for ASDA, he asked me what had happened to make me leave, I said travelling to work without a car and things.
Good luck with that hun.;)
Please, please, please don't ever drink while on meds hun or anyone else that does too. Meds are a powerful drug and shouldn't be 'played' with - it's like Russian Roulette.
If you've missed tablets for whatever reason, this is also dangerous as you are sending your body's chemistry a physics lesson!
How can we get well guys if we are drinking with and/or missing our meds? In fact, it makes your mental health worse and then because we don't think the tablets are working, we may stop taking them and not bother going back to the dr. It really can have that knock-on effect. Sorry - not meaning to preach guys.:o I'm not having a go at anyone. It's only because I care. If we want to get as well as we can, then we have to follow the rules.;) If you need help with these points, please speak to your gp guys - they do understand and may even be able to help.

I hope you're finally getting some rest angel.
Me? I'm still on page 185!:eek:
Much Love,
